Mayawati’s promise to India : BSP Manifesto

(Samatha)
By ignoring the importance of capital and the capitalists who drive it, Mayawati would be committing the same mistake russia/cuba did in taking up anti-capitalist posture. Capitalism is important for innovation. These market forces reward hardwork, determination, individual drive and luck. This “power of the individual” is very important for a society to keep its best people involved in the community. Only then the society will progress.An updated Nehruvian model of welfare state and private enterprise is better suited for India. Providing hope for the poor in terms of quotas would help india close the gap between its oceans of poverty and islands of prosperity. This would dissuade the frustrated youth from taking extreme measures. It is unfortunate that Mayawati has no comments on secularism or corruption or moral policing or the economic crisis. These issues do affect Sarva Jan. It is possible that Mayawati is trying to differentiate her party from other mainstream parties.

Highlights of Mayawati’s promises and achievements:

their economic policies are not prepared
for removing the hardship of the general public

welfare department for every segment of that society

Private Sector on a large scale those “government departments” and
“institutions” in the Centre and all the states of the country

in the Bahujan Samaj

entire country an atmosphere free from “injustice, crime and fear” by
establishing a “Rule of Law by Lawful Means”

our party wants growth of capital and not
development of capitalists in the country

every “Economic Policy” of our country will be designed to
bendfit the general public and not make the rich richer and the poor
poorer

Bahujan Samaj Party

” APPEAL”

For

Lok Sabha General Elections -2009

Brothers and Sisters,

As it is known to all, Bahujan Samaj Party or B.S.P. is the only party
in the country, which believers in ” deeds and not in words“. That is
why our party, unlike other parties doses not release an election
“Manifesto” rather B.S.P. only makes an ” APPEAL” to people for
votes, enabling it to complete the unfinished works of the Sants,
Gurus and great men born in the Bahujan Samaj from time to time,
especially Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj,
Narayana Guru, Parapujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimraro Ambedkar and Manyavar
Shri Kanshi Ram Ji by following the path show by them so that it can
produce good results in the elections to gain power and them with the
“Masterkey” of political power can make the lives of the suffering and
oppressed people prosperous in every respect. This is because
parampujya Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimraro Ambedkar was of the view that
“political power is a master-key by which all the problems can be
solved”.

By following this very thinking of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar, our party
is contesting these general elections for Lok Sabha on all the seats
alone on its own strength and with preparedness, in other words our
party has not forged any electoral alliance of any kind with any party
in these elections.

But here the main question that arises is why it is essential for the
general public of the country to cast their votes for the B.S.P. alone
and not for the Congress and B.J.P . and their allies? This main and
essential point will have to be understood.

In this regard, it is the contention of the B.S.P. that it is the only
party in the country the ” Ideology and Policies” and ” Work Style” of
which are in the interest of the Sarva Samaj (entire society ) and
that our party does whatever it says in the interest of the Sarva
Samaj whereas other parties make a lot of promises and do very little,
in other words most of their work is projected on paper, and very
little is seen as being implemented on ground.

This is the main reason why because of wrong policies of the parties
having a casteist mindset no significant shange has come about even 61
years after the country’s Independence in the ” social and economic ”
condition of the “Bahujan Samaj, which comprises the Scheduled Castes,
Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and religious
minorities like the Sikhs, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and Buddhists
etc., who account for 85 per cent of the country’s total population.

And I have mentioned about ” Wrong Policies “ here because the parties
which have so far formed governments in the Center and most of the
states In the country have been depending on financial help from big
capitalists as a result of which these parties on coming to power
tailor their every “Economic Policy” to suit the needs of those
capitalist, in other words their economic policies are not prepared
for removing the hardship of the general public. This is the main
reason why the economic condition of the Bahujan Samaj people as well
as of the poor people belonging to Upper Castes continues to be bad
and pitiable even now.

Keeping all this in view, we had to form a separate political party by
the name of ” Bahujan Samaj Party” (B.S.P) on April 14, 1984, under
the leadership of “Manyavar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji” by following the path
shown by parampujya Baba Saheb. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and by now it has
emerged as an important party at the “national level”.

Not only this, our party has rather gradually increased its mass-base
throughout the country and also sent its MPs to Parliament and MLAs
to legislatures in several states. Besides, government has been formed
under the leadership of our party in Uttar Pradesh four times and
during all the four termes of office our party’s government has taken
full care of the interests of the Sarav Samaj, but it has given
priority to those people of the Bahujan Samaj, who had been neglected
on a large scale in “social and economic” spheres by the governments
of other parties in the past. Taking this issue of neglect seriously,
our party’s government in order to bring about an improvement in the
“social and economic” condition of the Bahujan Samaj people in Uttar
Pradesh has for the first time in the country constituted a separate
welfare department for every segment of that society and by selecting
under the “Dr.Ambedkar Rural Development Scheme” villages with
preponderance of the Dalit population in particular has decided to
cover them with every kind of essential amenities and now the name of
this scheme has been changed to the “Baba Saheb Dr.Ambedkar Uttar
Pradesh Gramsabha Integrated Development Scheme”.

Similarly, an “Urban Integrated Development Scheme” has also been
launched in the name of Manyavar Shri Kanshi Ram Ji, through which
all the cities, towns and ‘kasbas’, big and small, in Uttar Pradesh
are being developed in a phased manner.

Besides , to a large number of poor people in the urban areas of Uttar
Pradesh , who because of their helpessness had settled unauthorisedly
on the land of the state government departments and have been living
there since before 15.01.2009, our government under a “Sarvjan Hitaiy
urban Slum Area Ownership right Scheme” has decided to give ownership
right to residential plots measuring a mximum of 30sq. meters and
minimum of 15sq. meters and commercial plots for employment measuring
a maximum of 10 sq. meters. In the history of the state such a
decision had not been taken by any of the past governments because of
which the poor people in a large number have been exploited for years
by government employees, land -mafias and employees of municipalities
etc. But since 15.01.2209 after implementation of this scheme from my
birthday, they have got ownership right to their residential plot in
urban areas, while they have also got freedom from all kinds of
exploitation.

Along with this , the government land lying vacant is being
distributed with actual possession therefore for a two-room pucca
house and for cultivation to the poor helpess people of the Sarv Samaj
in the states with priority to the Dalits, exploited and backwards in
particular, which has so far benefited lakhs of poor people in the
state and this process is still continuing.

For promoting eduction, like for the children of the Scheduled Castes
/Tribes, our party’s government has for the first time in Indiaprovided scholarship to the poor children from the Other Backward
Classes (OBCs) and religious minorities, particularlyMuslims, and in
view of rise in pricies the scholarship is distributed to the students
soon after they take admission. Our government has arranged for “free
government coaching” for poor students of these classes to enable them
to get high ranking jobs.

Besides, along with these classes in uttarprasesh, a new era in the
field of higher and technical education has been ushered in for poor
children of the Savarn Samaj for which a historic decision has been
taken for the first time to send students of the newly established
Gautam Buddha University in Gautam Buddha Nagar district (Great Noida)
at government expense to Europe or other foreign countries for higher
education.

By giving priority to development of the Scheduled Castes and
Scheduled Tribes a separate provision of 25 per cent fund has been
made for the first time in the budget for them. Similarly, for
creating a sense of security them. Similarly, for creating a sense of
security among the Bahujan Samaj people a provision of “reseversation”
has been made for the first time in the country for police station
officers.

Full care has also been tken of the interests of the biggest
constituent of the “religious minority society” the Muslims, in
particular in every sphere. Their economic development has been
ensured and their lives, properties and religion have been fully
protected. Besides, by including the economically backward people in
the Muslim society in the list of the backward classes, our party’s
government has for the first time in the state made available to them
the benefit of reservation in education and state level government
jobs.

A New Initiative in Respect of reservation: In regard to reservation
too, we in all the four terms of our rule in Uttar Pradesh have
conducted a special drive and cleared the backlog of the “reserved
quota” vacancies for the people of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes and
Other Backward Classes in government jobs and other areas at the state
level which had not been filled up for years.

Besides, our party has been making relentless efforts for securing the
benefit of “Reservation” for the Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Other
Backward Classes in the areas like the judiciary, council of
ministers, Rajya Sabha, Legislative Council and the private sector
etc., all over the country in which reservation has not yet been
provided to them by the Central Government. In this regard letters
have been written to the Central government several times. Along with
this, our party has written several times to the Central Government
for providing the benefit of additional reservation to those people of
the Scheduled Castes/Tribes who have become Christians or Muslims
through religious conversion by including them in the list of
Scheduled Castes/Tribes by keeping intact the present fixed quota of
reservation for the latter. But the government of no party formed in
the Centre so far has acceded to this reasonable demand of these
people.

This not all, the governments of the congress party and BJP and their
allies have been trying to end reservation gradually by giving to the
Private Sector on a large scale those “government departments” and
“institutions” in the Centre and all the states of the country in
which the people of the Scheduled Castes/Tribes and Other Backward
Classes have been getting job reservation under government, as there
is no provision of reservation as yet in the private sector for these
classes at the Central and the state levels. In a situation like this
the reservation for these classes will automatically come to an end
one day. Our party is very “worried” over this and in this regard the
people of these classes in the entire country also need to be very
“alert”.

And in this regard, it is also the belief of our party that this
reservation for the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other
Backward Classes (OBCs) in our country can be “protected” and
reservation made available to them in the areas in which they are not
yet getting this benefit only when these people form their own
government in the Centre and the states. And a concrete example of
this is the formation of our party’s government in Uttar Pradesh as
the B.S.P. government is the only one in the entire country which has
ensured a guarantee for maintaining the earlier available reservation
system even after a “government department” and “institution” is
handed over to the private sector.

Besides, in regard to reservation, I wish to tell the people of the
“upper caste society” that our party is in favour of providing
separate reservation to the poor people of this class on an economic
basis in the entire country. But it is the government in the “Centre”
which will have to introduce it by amending the Constitution.
Therefore, our party’s government has written several times to the
Central Government for providing separate reservation to the people of
this class on an economic basis. But the government of no party in the
Centre has so far agreed to this demand of ours. However, in this
regard, I wish to give this assurance to the people of the “upper
caste society” that the day our party’s government is formed in the
Centre like that in Uttar Pradesh it will make a meaningful effort to
remove poverty and unemployment of the people of the upper caste
society by certainly making the reservation facility available to them
even without their asking for it. And in this regard, you know it well
about the work culture of our party that it does what is says, in
other words there is no difference between its words and deeds.

Along with reservation, our party’s government has always been fully
sensitive and serious over the issue of social security. Therefore, we
have raised the amount of the old age/farmer pension from Rs.150 to
Rs.300. In addition, our party’s government immediately raised the
daily wages of the labourers from Rs.58(fifty-eight) to Rs.100 (one
hundred) for the labourers as it is in the most poor and weak class
and belongs mostly to the category of landless labourers to whom no
attention had been paid ever before because of their being
unorganized. And the daily wages of sanitation workers has also been
hiked from Rs.73 (seventy-three) to Rs.100 (one hundred).

This is also known to all that in the long rule for the Congress,
B.J.P. and their allies for about 61 years agriculture and farmers
have been neglected a great deal in the entire country, but our
party’s government has paid special attention to agriculture and
farmers also by keeping them in the priority category. Besides, our
government in Uttar Pradesh instead of giving unemployment allowance
to the youths is giving them an opportunity to live with dignity,
self-respect and self-reliance by making provision for permanent
employment for them. And from May 13, 2007 till January, 2009, in less
than two years, arrangement has been made for permanent employment for
seven lakhs people in government and for another two lakhs people in
non-government sector.

In addition to the interests of the poor and unemployed people of the
Sarva Samaj, our party’s government has taken full care of the
interest of “farmers” , “labourers”, “traders” and the people engaged
in “other occupations” and many important decisions have been taken in
their interests also.

Women Empowerment: Along with this, our government has granted
“inheritance right” to unmarried daughters from the Sarva Samaj in the
property of their father by amending the sectors-171 and 174 of the
Zamindari Abolition and Land Reform Act, 1950 for improving the social
and economic condition of women in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier during my
second tenure of rule in 1997 I had secured this “legal right” to
widows.

Besides, two important schemes have been launched on my 53rd birthday
by our party’s government for a bright future of girls in the state.
The first one has been launched by the name “Mahamaya garib Balika
Ashirvad Yojana” (Mahamaya Scheme of blessings for poor girls) under
which in the name of every girl born in the below the poverty line
families after January 15, 2009, a fixed deposit of a certain amount
is made and the girl on its maturity when she completes the age of 18
years will get a lump sum of Rs. One lakh. After the launching of this
scheme, the birth of a girl child instead of being viewed as a burden
will strengthen a tendency to view it as a welcome event and it will
also provide special help in correcting of the growing imbalance of
gender ratio gap in the state.

Similarly, the second scheme has been launched as “Savitri Bai Phule
Balika Shiksha Madad Yojana” (Savitri Bai Phule Scheme of assistance
for education of girls) under which a decision has been taken to
provide a lump sum amount for further studies to the girls of the
below the poverty line families, who have passed the standard tenth.

In this regard, I wish to inform you that when such a girl takes
admission to the standard eleventh, she is being given a lump sum of
Rs. 15 thousand and a ladies bicycle and when the girl passes the
standard eleventh examinations and takes admission to the standard
twelfth she will be given an additional amount of Rs.10000 by the
government for completing further studies. All these amounts will be
in addition to the scholarship or facilities provided under other
heads.

Along with these works, our party’s government in Uttar Pradesh has
given full honour and respect to many Sants, Gurus and great men born
in the Bahujan Samaj from time to time, who have been neglected by the
past governments. In their names many public welfare schemes have been
launched in the interests of the Sarva Samaj and several “new
districts”, “universities”, “memorials” and “museums” and parks etc.,
have been built in their memory.

Besides, I wish to tell you here that the Dalits, backwards and the
people of other neglected classes in the country have been victims of
atrocities and excesses of various kinds perpetrated by the people
having a casteist mindset from Independence till even now and they are
not able to get proper and timely justice. But our party after coming
to power in the Centre will not allow any class of the society in the
country, in other words it will do “justice” with honesty and
dedication to all and like in Uttar Pradesh it will create in the
entire country an atmosphere free from “injustice, crime and fear” by
establishing a “Rule of Law by Lawful Means”.

Along with this, in the absence of proper development of all the
regions in the country and because of want, injustice, exploitation,
poverty and deprivation some people are adopting and the path of
Naxalsim and governments in the Centre and the states have not so far
paid proper attention towards them, but our party on coming to power
in the Centre will wean them away from the path of Naxalism by finding
a “lasting solution” to all these problems of theirs and along with
this it will try to bring them in the mainstream of development by
providing “permanent employment” to them.

Besides, terrorism has emerged as a very big problem and serious
challenge in the country over the past few years and the main reason
for it appears to be “laxity” and “weaknesses” of the Central
Government itself and to a certain extent its political self-interest
as well. But our party will pay full attention towards this also.

And as far as the question of the National Rural Employment Guarantee
Scheme is concerned, under this scheme there is a provision for
providing employment for only 100 days out of 365 days in a year and
that too for only one unemployed person in a family. But our party on
coming to power in the Centre will start a scheme for the poor people
living in rural areas of the entire country which will ensure
provision of permanent employment for these people throughout the year
for all the 365 days.

Besides, on our party coming to power in the Centre all its policies
at the “national and international” levels in every respect will be
framed by keeping in view the people of all the religious and castes
in the Sarva Samaj. And “foreign Policy” will also be evolved by
keeping all this in view. In other words, while framing foreign policy
and entering into any agreement with a foreign country, special
attention will be paid to the national security as well as the
country’s dignity, self-respect and sovereignty.

In addition, plans of “all the ministries” of the Central Government
will be reviewed and operated in a proper manner so that the general
public in the country is able to get the full benefit of all the
schemes directly and easily. Not only this, our party’s government
will not enter into any deal with any country in the world which may
lead to its subjugation by that country later on.

Along with this, our government will not frame any “Economic Policy”
in any area which like under the past governments will continue to
work for development of capitalists instead of formation of capital in
the country. In other words our party wants growth of capital and not
development of capitalists in the country so that the life of the
common people in both urban and rural areas including farmers,
workers, traders and those engaged in other occupations for employment
becomes prosperous.

Thus every “Economic Policy” of our country will be designed to
bendfit the general public and not make the rich richer and the poor
poorer as it has been happening during the rule of the Congress party,
B.J.P. and their allies so far in our country and most of the states.
And then only the poor people of this country will be able to get two
square meals in a proper way. It is only after this that the
missionary goal our party to create an environment of “Sarvjan Hitaiy
and Sarvjan Sukhaiy” (In the Interest of And For Happiness of All) in
the entire country can be realized in a true sense.

But for this to happen they will have to take the “Master Key of
Political Power” into their own hands by showing a good result of
their party in the Lok Sabha general elections being held now. And for
this, they will certainly have to be cautious against many tactics of
the opposition parties like attempts to cajole, coerce, lure and
divide because these parties can go to any extent to harm our party.

In this regard, the opposition parties will try their best to see in
particular that our party does not get the votes of the Savarn Samaj
and to this end they can also try to project the ideology and policies
of our party in a distorted manner before the upper castes. This is
despite the fact that the ideology and policies of our party are not
against any caste and religion, in other words the B.S.P. wants to
establish an “equalitarian social order” in this country by changing
the inequitable social order based on “caste line”, an objective that
is in the interest of the country and the Sarv Samaj. And if in this
“transformation of order” along with the Bahujan Samaj the people of
the Savarn Samaj also cooperate by changing their Casteist mindset,
then the doors of the Bahujan Samaj Party (B.S.P) are always open for
admission and advancement of such people with dignity and
self-respect. What I am implying is that the ideology and policies of
the B.S.P. are not against the people of the upper caste society.

In this regard, I would like the upper caste people to think over the
question why the B.S.P. would have kept these people in the
organization at the national and state levels had its ideology and
policies been against the Savarn Samaj? And then why would the B.S.P.
have fielded such people on its tickets in the Lok Sabha and Assembly
elections and on formation of its government inducted them into
honourable positions of ministers? From this, it is fully clear that
the ideology and policies of our party are based on the principle of
“Sarvjan Hitaiy and Sarvjan Sukhaiy” (Progress and Prosperity For
All).

Besides, with regard to the “Ideology and Policies” of the B.S.P., I
also want ot make it clear here that an “equalitarian social order” is
not going to be established in the country by organising the Bahujan
Samaj people alone. For this, we will have to carry along with us
Savarn Hindus also on the basisi of a spirit of social brotherhood by
changing their casteist mindset and then only an “equalitarian social
order” as envisioned by the architect of the Indian constitution Baba
Saheb Dr. Ambedkar can be really established in this country. And it
is only after this that the people of the Sarva Samaj can be united
together and distinctions of “high and low and caste and creed” can
come to end and then alone our party can get an opportunity to come to
power in the Centre and the states.

But the B.S.P. people will have to keep it in mind that the congress,
B.J.P. and their allies will not allow our party to come to power in
the Centre and the states that easily and that for preventing our
party from achieving this goal they will use machination of every kind
and our party will have to remain on guard against this at every step.

Along with this, it is my fervent appeal to our party people all over
the country “to remain alert so that their invaluable votes are
neither bought nor looted nor remain unused and no selfish person is
able to misuse their votes by ensnaring them in the name of caste and
creed, money, temple and mosque or by any other kind of emotional
blackmail, in other words they have to rise to the defence of
democracy with their lives. Therefore, in the interest of the Sarva
Samaj, the country and their respective state, they will have to place
the power in the Centre in the right hands, in other words in the
hands of the B.S.P. so that our party can frame its every policy on
the principle of Sarvjan Hitaiy and Sarvjan Sukhaiy in every walk of
life and make the lives of the Bahujan Samaj and the poor people of
upper caste society and other people engaged in various occupations
prosperous”.

In the end, keeping all this in view, I make this “APPEAL” to the
supporters, followers and well-wishers of our party not to get carried
away by alluring promises made in the election manifesto of opposition
parties and to act on the appeal of their party alone and to certainly
make all the B.S.P. candidates victorious in the Lok Sabha general
elections-2009 being held in the country now by pressing the button
facing the “Elephant” symbol of their own party.
